What is the operational definition of "stabilizing"? What exactly are "day to day" operations in a country in which you don't know who the enemy is? How exactly are we going to do that? What secret information do you have that can prove your last sentence?
With the way the violence has died down and troop deaths are at the lowest level since the begining of the war, I'd say things are looking up.
Day-to-day operations would mean having the Iraqi Army take over all areas of operation from the US military.
Stabilizing would mean getting to a point where the terroists cant operate as freely as they want, and at the same time getting the Iraqi army built up to the point where they can take over.
Why is this so fuucking hard for you?
